Whipped Coffee

Have you seen the new whipped coffee trend on your social media feeds yet? If you’re on Instagram or TikTok, chances are good you’ve scrolled past Dalgona coffee.

Since coffee is basically in its own food group for me, trying Dalgona coffee in many forms is high on my list.

It only makes sense to add this new whipped coffee craze to the many coffee recipes on the blog.

Dalgona coffee might look fancy, but trust me that it’s so easy to make. You may even have everything you need to make it right away.

What is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona coffee or whipped coffee is a drink inspired by the Indian beverage, Phenti Hui coffee. The drink is made by whipping up instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it creates a creamy foam topping to add to hot or cold milk.

Since many of us are at home more than ever and skipping trips to the coffeehouse, it’s the perfect time to experiment with recipes to create the best coffee drinks that we love.

To make whipped coffee you only need a few simple ingredients. You might even have everything you need for a Dalgona recipe in your pantry.

The only slightly uncommon ingredient is instant coffee. You cannot make whipped coffee with regular coffee grounds – it has to be instant.

You can top the foamy coffee whip onto hot or cold milk. This recipe is for an iced Dalgona coffee.

How to make Dalgona Coffee

Add instant coffee granules, sugar, and water to a mixing bowl fitted with a wire whisk.

Beat on high speed for 5-6 minutes or until stiff.

Fill a mug with ice and milk.

Top with the whipped coffee topping.

Notes:

You can only use instant coffee to get the topping to whip into a creamy foam.

Use any type of milk or milk substitute you like. Almond milk, macadamia milk, or whatever you prefer should be equally as tasty.

Flavor your Dalgona coffee with cocoa powder, vanilla extract, honey, cinnamon, and more. Get creative with the flavor combos!
